Working on a computer can have it's moments.... That is why I thank the powers that be, for all gardens, big and small.
I have heard "life is so much simpler now with the use of computers".... And true as it may be, some days it takes a lot of patience to do all the extra steps to get some things done, or try to reach somebody, or "look out!" someone needs to reach you...
We are at the beck and call of our devices.
So I sat by my vegetable garden yesterday and did just that.... sat.
I watched as the spiders made webs, that sparkled in the late afternoon light. I observed tomatoes becoming part of the ecosystem, melting into the ground. I listened to the bugs that sung their late songs of summer, buzzing away at the last vestiges of heat from the sun, and I smelled the soil as it warmed in it's rays.
Almost instantly, I forgot the bills. I forgot the schedules, the laundry and yes.. all the stuff I need to do on the computer, albeit important.
Sitting in the garden, I am reminded of what is important to me, and the balance of it all....
plus I get tomatoes ♥
